Closing the gaps of this trail <br />helps to complete the bikeway network in the region and provide the needed facilities for <br />the cyclists of the Bay Area. There are several developed segments of the Bay Trail in <br />San Mateo County: the longest one stretches from Bayfront Park in Millbrae to Redwood <br />shores with only a few minor interruptions. The proposed prol ect would continue this <br />segment toward the southern portions of Redwood City. This corridor of the Bay trail.. on <br />the east side of U.S. 101 between Menlo Park and South San Francisco. is slated to <br />address both recreational and commuter demand. Bicyclists have requested a more direct <br />route in this corridor that would not involve crossing the Bayshore Freeway. <br /> <br />The Bair Island Wildlife Refuge for many years has been a regional destination. This <br />proiect will facilitate the public use of Bair Island. which is frequented by an estimated <br />250.000 visitors annually. Walkers.. loggers.. cyclists.. nature lovers. and families from <br />throughout the Bay Area enj oy BaiT Island's wildlife.. open space. and scenery. The new <br />path will provide safe access to this Bay Area destination. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> <br />Please provide any additional information which may be used in developing <br />understanding of the proj ect. <br /> <br />Several significant portions of the Bay Trail have been developed in San Mateo County.. <br />all of which enloy tremendous popularity.
